In the UK, Oil & Fats International reported that Argentina’s biodiesel production in 2025 is expected to be the lowest volume on record at 1.2 billion liters, a drop of 7% compared to the previous year, according to a US Department of Agriculture (USDA) report.
With domestic consumption steady, exports were forecast at a near 20-year low of 340 million liters, according to the report.
The report noted that soyabean oil remained the primary feedstock and the blending rate was projected at 6.6% – below the 7.5% mandate – while production capacity remained unchanged, operating at over 70% idle.
“The local biofuels sector has been stagnant in the past several years because of laws regulating the sector, official policy or lack thereof, and political/economic decisions,” the USDA said.
